Inside The $3 Million Cirrus Vision Jet SF50

I like the blue-colored-CirrusVisionJet.

[@davidhernandez9985]

The red colored is cool too but blue matches with the sky giving the G4-a more settled optic-look.

chute is a harder landing then if you just landed

[@jackhenderson9798]

Not if you can’t land.

​@@MAGApepe Usually when a jet loses it's only engine... it's going down fast and, yea sure it'll land, but when it does it'll probably break apart into multiple unsurvivable pieces. It's not like an engine failure in a C172... Over all the chute is an amazing safety feature and basically replaces an entire engine. In some cases the chute allows you to survive situations that even multiple engines won't, such as midair collisions.

@@TheFlyingZulu While I have no direct information, I would think, with the wing it has, it would glide fairly well from FL310. The issue, of course being that you need to get down quicker than a straight glide, because losing the engine will depressurise the aircraft. However, from 15,000 ft it will still go quite a long way, so the possibility, in the Continental USA, is that you might well find a runway to land on. While the chute does not replace an engine, it does provide a last ditch lifesaver if you don't find a suitable landing place.

What, if you are capable of landing normally you don’t need the parachute!

Some of your numbers are incorrect for the G2+. Max takeoff weight is 6000 lbs. (not 9000).

Sad AI script 😢

[@easternpa2]

Sounds like KTTN -> KOMN is too far non-stop.

[@Purlee100]

Does not look too far, Trenton to Miami is just over 900 miles, so probably about a four hour trip, but it will depend on wind, payload and bladder capacity.
